The barzakh is the stage between death and the resurrection, where the realities of reward, punishment, and a distinct mode of life are affirmed.
Resurrection (baʿth) means being raised on the Day of Judgment. It is not merely another term for the conditions of the grave. The barzakh and resurrection are distinct stages of the unseen.
This distinction preserves the different places of questioning in the grave, comfort or punishment there, gathering, records of deeds, reckoning, the balance, and the bridge.
